Polish farmers are planning to resume the Medyka-Shehyni border blockaвe on October 8, which reportedly can last till the end of 2024.
According to Polish authorities, their angry farmers want to halt freight traffic coming from Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Customs Service said there are no signs of immediate protests but it promise to provide updates if the situation changes.
The oossible protest follows concerns voiced by Polish farmers on September 1 over the impact of Ukrainian agricultural imports on the domestic market, particularly affecting soft fruits like raspberries.
Polish agricultural associations have urged the country’s government to take action by setting import limits and increasing border controls. Farmers threatened that if the situation does not improve, they will go back to protests after the harvest season.

To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
